I write my books in my head, and not in a specific study with a view. The view is from my inner eyes.
Wilbur SmithI know it's politically incorrect but I enjoy things like the kick boxing and cock fighting.
Wilbur SmithQuite frankly, I think political correctness is the worst form of censorship. You're not allowed to speak your mind unless you're black, or unless you're a terrorist, or unless you're an Arab or a minority people. Then you can say what you like. But if you are like a lot of us you are not supposed to say certain things.
Wilbur SmithUsually halfway through a book I have a serious depression, so I go on safari on my ranch in South Africa, or fishing off my island in the Seychelles. When I come back and re-read it, I think: 'What was all that about, Smith? It's fine, just get on with it.'
